Benefits of Reishi Mushroom Tea

Reishi has high levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, making it a great way to benefit your overall health.

As if reishi's nutritional benefits weren't fantastic enough, it is also frequently used for immune support and to help prevent, treat, or ease the symptoms of a variety of diseases and conditions, such as:

  • Liver disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Respiratory diseases, like asthma
  • HIV and AIDS
  • prostate cancer
  • Fights cancer cells
  • Shingles

The reishi mushroom can also help reduce stress and fatigue, helping improve your overall mood and energy levels. It may also help with blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol level management.

Boosts Immune System and Heart Health

Reishi has the potential to boost your immune system by affecting genes and altering inflammation pathways in white blood cells.

It can improve your immune system's cell function, has antioxidant properties, and combats viruses. It can also help reduce inflammation and ease symptoms of immunity-related conditions.

Alongside this, reishi may help you maintain your heart health and blood sugar levels, as it helps increase "good" HDL cholesterol, decrease triglycerides, and lower blood sugar. 

Combats Cancer

There are numerous studies indicating that reishi has the potential to combat cancer by decreasing the number and size of tumors.

It can boost the activity of "natural killer cells" or lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that fights infections and cancer in the body. It can also potentially boost the immune function of advanced cancer patients with lowered immunities.

While reishi cannot replace chemotherapy and other mainstream treatment methods, it can boost the quality of life and immune function of cancer patients when used alongside them.

Improves Mood

The reishi mushroom may help combat fatigue, depression, and anxiety. This can help improve many people's quality of life, including those with neurasthenia, cancer, and other serious conditions.

The soothing qualities of reishi can benefit anyone who wants to unwind after a long day. Reishi mushroom may help improve your sleep quality, so you can get a restful night's sleep and reduce the amount of fatigue you feel in the morning.

Chaga vs. Reishi | The King & Queen of Mushrooms

Immune Support

Both chaga and reishi mushrooms are an excellent choice for immune support. Both functional mushrooms are rich in beta-glucans that can stimulate your body’s white blood cells and support a strong immune system.

Reishi mushroom contains triterpenoids, proteins, and beta-glucans. These three compounds support immune function and can help increase the reproduction and activation of immune cells.

Both mushrooms help promote natural killer cells, a specific type of white blood cell that fights infections and cancer cells. It can also potentially increase the number of lymphocytes in those who have colorectal cancer.

Improve sleep

Chaga helps to promote the natural secretion of serotonin and melatonin, which aids in alertness and energy during the day and improved R.E.M. sleep at night.

Chaga inonotus obliquus also contains birch tree sterols which boots energy so It is advised not to take chaga in the late evening as it may at the opposite effect and keep you up at night. Taking chaga in the late afternoon early evening would be fine.

Both mushrooms can help promote relaxation and and help you get a good nights sleep..

Reduce Inflammation

Chaga mushroom is known to help reduce harmful cytokines which can cause inflammation and lead to disease.

Chaga is a natural anti inflammatory that can help manage arthritic symptoms, help with pain relief and help prevent flare-ups.

Reishi mushroom may affect the genes in white blood cells and alter their inflammation pathways.  Reishi can also help manage the inflammation that is associated with having a high cholesterol diet.

Helps with Allergies

Both Chaga and Reishi mushroom may regulate the release of histamines. This potentially produces an antihistamine effect without causing many of the side effects over the counter products tend to have.

This not only potentially helps alleviate allergy symptoms, but it also may improve the oxygen supply of the body. This is especially helpful for those who struggle with asthma or other breathing problems.

Both mushrooms also contain plant-based steroids which help manage allergies, herpes, lupus, and psoriasis symptoms.

Skin Health

For skin health Chaga is your best choice. Chaga's nutrients and vitamins for skin health allow it to support healthy aging, ease skin inflammation and sensitivity, and combat breakouts. It may also help eliminate oxidative stress to improve the appearance of wrinkles and acne.

Chaga comes with a variety of benefits that can help support the appearance and health of skin, hair, and nails.

It contains many essential nutrients, including:

  • Protein-building amino acids
  • B vitamins
  • Minerals

These nutrients are what allow us to enjoy a multitude of Chaga benefits for skin.

Stress Relief

Both Chaga and Reishi mushrooms help with stress relieve and help to boost and improve your mood:

  • Helps you to cope with stress
  • Helps with Adrenal burnout
  • Helps with Depression.

Both mushrooms can reduce levels of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. Studies show that it can also boost the levels of estrogen and serotonin found in the body to improve one's mood.

Reishi is an adaptogen, a type of plant that help combat stress by stabilizing and maintaining balance within the body.

This means it can potentially support the endocrine and immune systems to help relieve stress and decrease feelings of unrest. It may also increase cerebral blood flow and potentially support brain function and stimulation.

Studies have found that taking Reishi supplements can reduce fatigue in about four to eight weeks, depending on the study.

Both Chaga and Reishi closely parallel each in regards to there potential health benefits. Both mushrooms are adaptations but Chaga is king because is can modulate the immune system. Reishi mushroom boosts the Immune system. Both have amazing benefits so why not combine them both to get the most out of these medicinal mushrooms.

Buying Reishi Mushroom Tea

Reishi comes in many forms, including dried mushroom pieces, extracts, tinctures or powder.

Reishi mushroom tea made from dried slices or chunks should be steeped for at least 30 minutes, as they are too woody to eat raw.

What is the Recommended Dosage?

Human studies suggest the recommended dosage for reishi often falls between 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams per serving.

The best dosage for you may vary based on your age and your overall health, and it may also vary based on the condition it is being used to treat.

You should keep in mind that the way you take reishi—whether through tea, extract, tincture, or supplement—can also change the recommended dose. Be sure to follow the packaging's instructions on how much you should consume to get the best effects from your reishi mushroom.

What are Reishi Mushroom Side Effects?

Reishi is considered safe for consumption and is not known to cause severe side effects, except in cases of extreme over consumption.

That being said, in rare cases, a person may experience an allergic reaction. Those who have sensitivities to mushrooms may experience:

  • Dryness in mouth, throat, and nasal passages
  • Dizziness
  • Itchiness
  • Rash
  • Headache
  • Upset stomach
  • Nosebleed
  • Bloody stools

Consult a doctor before taking reishi, especially if you have low blood pressure or an immune system disorder, or you are taking low blood pressure, diabetes, or immune system disorder medications. You should also consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Reishi may increase the risk of bleeding, especially in those with low platelet count. Consult a doctor if you are using anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), warfarin, heparin, or any herbs or supplements that prevent normal clotting or lower blood pressure.
